LLv34_Flanker Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 S! Been happy with my HyperX Cloud Revolver S headset. Good sound and mic too. And not ridiculously pricey either.
56RAF_Stickz Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 I use a steelseries (elite prism). Requires usb connector, cable is a little short but is pretty robust unlike many headsets. I have it connected to an external usb hub else it may be too short for some (unless you can plug it into front of PC). There is software to run it, but I never bothered after an upgrade turned off the mic. So I just use it out of the box. Also has worthless colour cycling on earphones. Makes you look like "phones" from stingray crew. But some may like it. But its good headset and mic both of which can be muted if needed. The only real trouble I found with it is fitting trackir to it. The band is wide - just about too wide for the fitting mechanism(although can get it too fit). It is also thin so you need rubber bands or fittings so it sits fixed tight on head (I actually fitted cycle light fittings to bolster it). Once I got it right works great. My wife and a son also have the hyperX mentioned by Flanker above and have no problems (although wife has no use for its mic). And if its survived son raging at the WoT and Halo plonkers its got to be robust.
Dagwoodyt Posted July 30, 2020 Author Posted July 30, 2020 Finally figured out that I should post under "General Discussion" so question is now listed there also. Thanks!
StevenWhite Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Considering the price I still have no problem recommending either the Logitech g930 or the Corsair Wireless Vengeance/h 2100. You just have to take extra care not to over rotate or over extend the ear pieces. I own both and in my case the cracking didn't show up for at least 2 years. I will give kudos to Corsair service. I sent my Corsair Vengeance 2000 for an RMA and got a brand new vengeance 2100 replacement from them. It's currently sitting in the box as my "spare". Between the two I would say the corsair sounds the best, but has terrible range. The logitech g930 sounds good, has excellent range and has the added functional buttons. It gets my pick as the better of the two unless sound quality is super important. If you can spend a bit more I would look into Corsairs new wireless void headset. It's a bit cheaper then Logitech's upcoming g933, and hopefully they've learned from their mistakes. Initial reviews are looking very positive.
Kurfurst Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Forget those 'gamer' headsets and get something from brands that actually know how to produce a good headphone. Audio Technica, Sennheiser, Beyerdyamic are all great choices with clear sounds quite apart from gaming headsets.
